# The campaign is not in a state this applies to

> 409 campaign_status_conflict

Only a running campaign can be paused, and only a paused one resumed. `detail` names the state it is in.

## What to do

Read the campaign, then send what applies to it: `start` for a draft, `resume` for a paused campaign.

## Retrying

No: the same request gets the same answer until something is changed.
